Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Neck Pattern and Trunk Specific Exercise on Trunk Control and Balance-an Experimental Study.
Article in International journal of therapeutic massage & bodywork, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Most stroke survivors continue to live with disabilities and may require physical rehabilitation to control the trunk and balance during the post-stroke period. The cause of lack of trunk control and balance among stroke patients is the weakened trunk muscle strength. Purpose: To study the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) neck pattern and trunk-specific exercise on trunk control and balance among stroke patients. Setting: The study was conducted at the medical wards of Saveetha Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, India. Participants: Sixty patients with stroke who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. Research Design: This is a quasi-experimental study. Intervention: PNF trunk-specific exercise was administered to the experimental group for 45 min of 28 sessions, which contained 15 min of stretching exercise and 30 min trunk-specific exercise. The control group received routine hospital care services. Main Outcome Measures: The study's primary outcome was balance and trunk control, measured by the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) before the intervention and at the end of the intervention of 28 days. Results: Within-group analysis, paired Conclusion: PNF neck pattern and trunk-specific exercise used in this study effectively improved balance and trunk control among patients with stroke.
